During my first year of college I was all "I don't need a bike, I'll be fine." Little did I know, my second year I use my bike all of the time... like ALL OF THE TIME. There are a multitude of struggles campus bikers go through, so enjoy this article. Fellow campus bikers: good luck on the sidewalks today.

1. "See me, please"

When you aren't sure where someone is walking and it turns into the whole *both moves to the left and right at the same time* things get awkward.

2. "On your left"

Side note: I feel like Captain America when I say this daily. For real though, learn your left and rights people, I literally give you so much warning time, but there's only so loud my voice can go without looking like an idiot.

3. "Watch it"

Normally said right before or after a collision.

4. "Sorry"

Bikers only say sorry when they clip your ankles, just saying.

5. "Can you not text/listen to your headphones and walk on the busy sidewalk?"

PET PEEVE. Pedestrian, watch where you're walking and turn your music down so when I yell at you, you hear me.

6. "I should really just use the bike lane"

Bike lanes are scary because cars can injure us more than people...

7. "I hope that car sees me"

7/10 times they'll let you cross the intersection...unless it's a bus, then you're screwed.

8. "That hill is great to ride down"

Skilled people dodger right here going downhill.

9. "That hill kills me to ride up"

Along with the stairs, I'm becoming a professional at hiding my heavy breath after riding up a steady incline.

10. "Where do I put my bike?"

When bike racks are full it's legit fend for yourself.

11. "I wonder how long it takes to walk to *insert place here*"

Winter is coming. Ice is coming. Bikes are frozen. It'll be fine.
